Previously closed in response to COVID-19, Sudbury YMCA has announced that it will be re-opening with limited hours of operation for the community’s homeless population to access vital services. 

Until further notice, this group is welcome to utilize the Durham Street location's washroom facilities as well as its telephone and computer to access social services, every day from 12-5 p.m.

The YMCA has been supported in its efforts to provide this access with a generous donation of personal protective equipment from local Covergalls Inc. 

“The YMCA values the role we play in building healthy communities, during this pandemic we have to play our role in a different way and we are happy that our facility can be used to support this vulnerable population,” said Helen Francis, YMCA of Northeastern Ontario president and CEO.

“YMCA of Northeastern Ontario is dedicated to the growth of all persons in spirit, mind and body with a sense of responsibility to each other and the global community.”
